What vegetables can be grown in February?

Although it is now February and the Beginning of Spring has arrived, the temperature in some areas still retains the remnant of winter's chill. However, many places have already entered the golden season for spring planting, and many vegetable varieties are suitable for sowing this month. Let’s learn what vegetables can be planted in February.

1. Lettuce

Lettuce is a cool-loving vegetable suitable for planting in spring and autumn. In the southern coastal areas, it can also be planted from winter to early spring. Although the temperature in February still has a hint of winter, it has gradually warmed up, which is very suitable for the growth of lettuce.

2. Potatoes

Potatoes can be planted in February in some areas. The suitable temperature for potato growth is 15℃ to 20℃. However, the temperature in February in some areas is relatively low, so you need to pay attention to keeping warm.

3. Spinach

The temperature gradually warms up in February, which is suitable for sowing spring spinach. The sowing period of spring spinach generally starts when the temperature rises above 5℃, and March is the best sowing period. If the temperature in February is close to 5℃, you can sow in advance.

4. Chinese cabbage

Chinese cabbage can be grown all year round in the southern region, but spring and autumn are the best seasons. When the temperature in northern regions is lower in February, it is recommended to plant it indoors or in an environment with heating measures.

5. Winter Vegetables

Winter vegetables have strong cold resistance. The seeds can start to germinate at around 8℃, and the plants can withstand low temperatures of around minus 5℃. In the southern regions, winter vegetables can even overwinter outdoors.

In short, although February is the beginning of spring, the temperature in some areas may continue to drop, so you should pay attention to keeping warm when sowing vegetables.
